20     Never again will a person not live a full life,
        for the young will live to be a hundred
    And any who die earlier will be considered cursed.

21     People will confidently build houses and make them their homes;
        they will plant vineyards and enjoy their fruit for years to come.
22     They won’t worry that someone else will come along, drive them out,
        and take it all away.
    For My people will live as long as these age-old trees;
        My chosen will use up and wear out whatever they make.

20 “Never again will there be in it
    an infant(A) who lives but a few days,
    or an old man who does not live out his years;(B)
the one who dies at a hundred
    will be thought a mere child;
the one who fails to reach[a] a hundred
    will be considered accursed.
21 They will build houses(C) and dwell in them;
    they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.(D)
22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them,(E)
    or plant and others eat.
For as the days of a tree,(F)
    so will be the days(G) of my people;
my chosen(H) ones will long enjoy
    the work of their hands.
